P.S. your wing is at my place. Going to swing by a body shop tomorrow and see what kind of couples pricing we can get.

I agree ... VW Jetta hybrid doesn't have a long term track record. Don't go for the 2.0L engine either, gutless.

Find a 2.5L, 1.8T or the 2.0T GLI , or TDI model

2016 Jetta TDI for $16K (easily negotiate down to $15K)
https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/ctd/6141628010.html

2014 Jetta 1.8T for $15.5K at VW dealer
https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/ctd/6134373615.html

2012 Jetta 2.0T GLI, $15,900

Who's got the guts to take on a low mile B5 S4?

Super subtle spec, and unmolested. I would love to get my hands on this car, leave the exterior alone, do big RS4 mods and romp around town way under the radar.

westopher 06-12-2017 10:40 AM

Oh my god. I've been dreaming of these lately. That one is perfect. Wonder what a couple years of ownership would cost after the low price of admission.

jing 06-12-2017 11:42 AM

I bought my E30 from the owner of that B4 S4. Guy is a collector of sorts, had more than a dozen cars in his driveway. Real nice older gentleman who cares for his fleet.

How negotiable is he?

jing 06-12-2017 03:22 PM

He can easily afford to keep it.

SB7 06-12-2017 03:34 PM

So much want for that s4....... :drool

vitaminG 06-12-2017 06:18 PM

Keep in mind mechanics don't usually negotiate, and you'll probably be spending a lot more money there if you bought that s4

Is the B5 S4 V6 engine one with the timing chain or belt? I saw some people post a pic of that hideous looking engine with like 3 or 4 timing chains. Any major concerns for the V6 Biturbo engine?

tegra7 06-12-2017 07:01 PM

^I think that's the W8, W12 motors.

westopher 06-12-2017 07:14 PM

Major concerns are the timing chain (not the ones pictured before) and the turbos going around 100k miles. The engine bay is TIGHT, so lots of jobs involve pulling the motor.

Cool. very nice BMW E24 6er... L6 was the lux version with even more leather in the interior.

a nice car to convert to euro bumper, a nice lowering and some bbs wheels... great cruiser.

99 Z3 M roadster I like the estorial blue and the wheels. 165,000 kms $16,500

1999 BMW MZ3 Roadster Saanich, Victoria

This isn't cheap but seems like a good condition car that still undercuts the price of a Supra, RX7 etc.

RIP Mitsubishi Motors WutFace

Looks like I got fooled by a flipper
:lawl:

Makes sense when you read the ad. Mentions previous owner and notes there's still a couple of issues with the car. Clearly the seller didn't bother addressing them.

That said, I still like the technology these cars possess.

white rocket 06-13-2017 01:33 PM

^^Thanks for putting the GN bug in me again.

Searched CL and found this: https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/cto/6169759921.html - fcuk me :(

Was looking for a cheap manual civic .
Guy replied saying it is a rebuilt .
What are your thoughts ?

bcuzracecarz 06-13-2017 03:55 PM

That he clearly can't read the section where it says to input "Clean or rebuilt". Idiots.

I've been looking for a 4 door SI, much want for a daily commuter to replace my 01 civic
